calling a tax on g.d.p. . well it's rather simple really if you have ten thousand units of production in an economy in ten thousand units of creditor currency and the government comes along and says ok we're going to deficit spend so we're going to put another thousand units into there then the value of all of the units of credit in currency that currently exists go down by that amount so this is exactly identical from a functional standpoint as if the i.r.s. man showed up on down your door. and so give me ten percent of everything you have . unfortunately that would be very unpopular if you were to turn around and tell the american public oh guess what your taxes are not going up ten percent of what you currently pay they're going up by ten percent of your income and the tax on everything that you produce as a company is going up by ten percent of your production and yet that is essentially what's been going on now for the last four years and so when we look at why we haven't seen job growth and economic reco

what tax approach do you think could be negotiated in the lame duck? >> you know, we've had deadlock for two years and it's been on the revenue side, not on the cutting side. we always seem to agree on various cuts to make, whether on the domestic discretionary programs like education or highways or on the entitlement programs, but we never seem to agree on revenues. i think one of the major stumbling blocks which i've pointed out people have bought on to the theory as part of deficit reduction we ought to lower the top rate on the highest income people. you lose a ton of revenue there and you can't make it up unless you squeeze the middle class. so if you're going to start out by saying the first thing we do is lower the rate from say 35 to 28 as simpson-bowles does or 25 as ryan does it's virtually impossible do deficit reduction without hurting the middle class. my suggestion intended to break this deadlock, this gridlock we've had on getting a budget deal for the last year and a half, let's get off this thing that the first thing we do is say we're
